Jonny Garrett – författare

The only book you’ll ever need on the best batches, pours, and sips available. Authors travel the world finding the world's best beers and telling you where and why. Sometimes even without slurring.

The only excuse for going to a bad pub is not knowing where the good ones are. Luckily, this issue is solved by One More Round, a carefully curated collection of the UK's most beautiful, historic and culturally significant pubs - all of which happen to serve amazing beer or cider, next to often hearty and sometimes sensational food.Starting with a potted history of the British pub and its impact on Britain, Jonny goes on to teach readers how to spot a good pub without ever going in, and explain the beer tie and how it affects what pubs can and can't serve, so people can make informed decisions. Finally, he gives a quick run down of the great beer and cider styles of the UK, so people know exactly what the words on the tap badges mean.Beginning in London, before expanding outwards in regional chapters that still tie a loose narrative together, One More Round shows how you can be hundreds of miles from your house and still find somewhere that feels like home. Ultimately, it's a record of the UK's absolute greatest pubs - the kind people do pilgrimages to visit, write poems about, take selfies in, and most importantly walk in, then never want to leave. It can be dipped into when going on a trip, or read from cover to cover for the joy that comes from seeing Britain's greatest invention celebrated properly.
